Determines whether the specified value is valid.

Syntax

Visual Basic (Declaration)
Public Overrides Function IsValid( _ ByVal value As Object _ ) As Boolean

Visual Basic (Usage)	Copy Code
Dim instance As ComboBoxCellType Dim value As Object Dim value As Boolean value = instance.IsValid(value)

C#
public override bool IsValid( object value )

Parameters

value: Specified value in the editor control

Return Value

true if value in entry is valid; false otherwise

Remarks

The valid range of values is defined by the list of items; see the Items property.

Example

This example shows the use of the IsValid method for a date-time formatted numeric cell type, but it can be used for other cell types as well.
